If Fox got fired where would he go?

[Carl Spackler]

I'll tell you where he can go...Hell

[mav1234]

Fox is NOT being fired, he's being let walk away.

Fox can bill it as Richardson not wanting to pay him the money he wants, and he'd be right.

49ers or Browns

He'll get hired quick as hell too when/if he leaves Carolina.

Media outlets prop Fox up as one of the best coaches in the league. Whether that's justified or not is open to debate certainly. Whether he's held in that same regard within NFL circles is outside of my scope of knowledge.

[mav1234]

if we assume Gruden is inside an NFL coaching circle (and maybe Dungy too, can't recall what he said about Fox), then Fox is definitely held in high regard there.

I remember when Fassel was let go, they immediately said he was a hot commodity and would command any HC job. That was six years ago

[dimbee]

Wasn't he offensive coordinator for the Ravens and fired mid-season or something?

I think so. I remember he was linked to so many coaching jobs that year and look where he is now. Coaching UFL, I think.

What has Fox done the past 5 seasons to make people still believe he's a good coach much less can get a HC job as soon as he walks/gets fired?

I can think of at least 10 teams that would pay him double to have a record we had in the last 5 seasons.

First 2 of the last 5 seasons: 8-8 and then 7-9

3rd year: gets blown out in the playoffs because he keeps calling pass plays with a incompetant QB and has never heard of Larry Fitzgerald.

4th year: starts that incompetant QB 11 games even after he continued shitting the bed while stating that "he gives us the best chance to win". Finishes 8-8 after the season when starting a QB near the end that knew what he was doing at the time. Too little too late. As always the case with Fox.

5th year: 0-5 start, no more than 4-5 wins on the horizon AT BEST

Overall record: 35-34 with it most likely ending up below .500 at the end of the 5th season. If he even lasts that long.

Wow thats really impressive

This is a "what have you done for me lately" league. Fox hasn't done squat in the past 5 seasons. With his 2 most recent seasons very piss poor (which is a combined record of 8-13 so far with the loses mounting).

Oh and not to mention this factoid from rayzor worth repeating...

i'm more thinking that if he wants a job at all after this (at least for a while) its most likely going to be as a DC somewhere. i can't see him in media (except on maybe kirwin's radio show). coaching is his only outlet.

the reasoning for him not getting a HC job has more to do with the HC market that has been going on for the past few years. there have been lots of HC changes made and the vast majority of them have been to rookie coaches rather than retreads.
